.DESCRIPTION AND USES .

WaterTite

LX Mold & Mildew Proof Waterproofing Paint is a

modified acrylic copolymer concrete and masonry waterproofing

paint and finish. It is designed to form an impermeable barrier to

water on interior and exterior, vertical or horizontal, concrete

block (not lightweight block) and cast-in-place concrete. It stops

moisture from entering basement or cellar walls and stops water

from exiting when applied to canals or holding basins. It is ideal

for use on fountains, reflecting pools, planters, retaining walls,

privacy fences, and more

It is an excellent block filler for use in wet areas where epoxy

finishes are to be applied, such as car washes, restrooms, etc. It

is not recommended for use in swimming pools or use in contact

with potable water. WaterTite LX meets ASTM D-7088

Resistance to Hydrostatic Pressure and ASTM D-6904

Resistance to Wind Driven Rain.

FEATURES



Water-based, very smooth, bright white, very low odor



Paintable with latex, oils, epoxies



Easy soap and water clean up



Fast drying – recoat in 2-3 hours



Covers 100 square feet per gallon.

APPEARANCE .

WaterTite LX produces a very smooth, bright white finish.

It can be tinted to off-white or deep pastel colors using 1.5 to 2.0

fluid oz. of universal colorant per gallon. Dry time depends on the

amount of colorant used. Set to touch 2 hours, 2 to 3 hours

before recoat or topcoat. Tinting may affect the hydrostatic water

pressure resistance.

PRODUCT APPLICATION .

SURFACE PREPARATION

Surfaces must be clean, dry and sound, and free of dirt,

efflorescence, mold, algae, sandy mortar or any material that

could compromise coating adhesion. New concrete must be

cured for at least 7 days prior to coating. Test cast concrete for

the presence of form sealers or release agents by sprinkling with

water. If the surface turns dark with the water, WaterTite LX can

be applied. If not, the surface must be chemically cleaned or

mechanically abraded to remove release agents.

PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont..)

Clean porous surfaces like uncoated concrete block by sweeping

or blowing down with oil-free, compressed air. Wash, vacuum,

scrape, wire brush or mechanically abrade dense concrete

surfaces. If surfaces are pressure washed, allow to dry three

days prior to coating. Remove exterior mildew with Jomax

House Cleaner & Mildew Killer or equivalent. Remove

efflorescence with WaterTite Etch

or equivalent. Rinse the

surface thoroughly after chemical cleaning. Un-rinsed acid salts

may cause premature coating failure. Surface can be damp but

not glistening with water at time of application. Water-Tite LX can

be applied over previously painted surfaces. However, the

waterproofing ability is dependent upon the integrity and moisture

resistance of the prior coating. For maximum waterproofing

performance, apply WaterTite LX over uncoated surfaces.

Soundness of Surface - Surface of concrete and mortar joints

must be hard and firm - not loose or sandy. The surface is un-

sound if it can be scraped or gouged with a flat screw driver

using moderate pressure. Unsound mortar or deteriorated

concrete should be removed and repaired prior to coating.

Cracks and joints must be sealed with WaterTite Hydraulic (15

minute dry time) and/or WaterTite Polyurethane Sealant (72 hour

cure) or equivalent products. When waterproofing exterior, above

grade walls, parapet walls must be capped and the backside

sealed with a flexible waterproofing membrane.

WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint, you may

release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD

DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN

DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN

SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH-Approved

respirator to control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a

HEPA vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start, find out how to

protect yourself and your family by contacting the National Lead

Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to

www.epa.gov/lead.

APPLICATION

Mix thoroughly to ensure any settled pigment is re-dispersed

before application. DO NOT THIN. Apply only when air, material,

and surfaces temperatures are between 50-90°F (10-32°C) and

the relative humidity is or less than 85%. Apply two or three coats,

depending on the surface and job requirements to form a

continuous pin-hole free coating. Apply the first coat using a high

quality synthetic brush or ¾” nap roller. WaterTite LX can be

spray applied with an airless sprayer or conventional sprayer.

Follow manufacturer’s application instructions. If using a roller,

back brush the first coat to work the coating into the concrete

pores. It is more important to work the first coat into the surface

than for it to hide the substrate. The second coat can be rolled or

brushed on. For very porous or rough surfaces, a third coat may

be required if pin-holes are evident.

PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.)

DRY AND RECOAT

Dry and recoat times are based on 70°F and 50% relative

humidity. Lower temperatures and higher humidity will increase

dry time. Dries to the touch in 2 hours. Allow the first coat to dry a

minimum of 2 hours before applying the second coat. After the

second coat has dried, inspect the surface for pinholes. Reapply

additional paint to those areas as necessary. Protect from rain for

8 hours after application.

LIMITATIONS

WaterTite LX is not an elastomeric and will not expand and

contract with movement in the substrate. It will not provide

protection against moisture penetration through cracks in mortar,

expansion joints or junctures between dissimilar materials.

WaterTite LX will not penetrate and fill inaccessible surfaces,

unopened bug-holes, raked mortar joints, etc. Do not use on

glazed or non-porous surfaces.

CLEAN UP

Clean hands and tools with soapy water. Drips and runs should

be removed immediately. Once dry, drips and runs can be

removed by sanding or stripping
